Its not hard to stop the SCS Modem from using Pactor 3. You just set MYLevel parameter to 2, modem will then only operate Pactor 1 or 2. Pactor 3 is locked out. Problem is SCS have the default set for use of Pactor 3 comms if desired, which works for the first 20 connects, after that you buy the licence from SCS and its coded to the modem serial number, where I believe originally it was coded to your callsign. 73s Jack VK4JRC
